The Tempest
Directed by Jennifer Sarah Dean
DECEMBER 2016
St Kilda Botanical Gardens
On a distant island a woman waited. Robbed of her position, power and wealth, her enemies left her in isolation, but Prospero is no ordinary woman, and this was no ordinary island. When Prospero raised a storm to shipwreck the people who betrayed her on the island, her long contemplated revenge at last seemed within reach.
